Sol 5.6

  1. O pearl of dreams within my heavens,

    image of my joys—my angel entire,

  2. ،

    ،

    my happiness, my memory, the fullness of my breast,

    the bell of my life, the fragrance of the arak tree;

  3. O melody of my soul, in its spirit’s hidden depths,

    life’s melody, while every singer weeps;

  4. ، ،

    turquoise jewel of my inspiration, gift of my Creator,

    my preoccupation and my thought, the touch of the devout;

  5. ،

    O my wellspring, the quenching of all my feelings—

    Father! O taste of pure bliss,

  6. I yearn for your voice, companioning and consoling me,

    and for your hands, which heal exhaustion’s bite;

  7. ، ،

    and for your healing prayer, which courses through my ribs,

    healing my waywardness, my bewilderment, my turmoil.

  8. ،

    ،

    Father—O flame of peace within my thoughts!

    Peace departed; I was left caught in snares.

  9. I remained alone in the grimness of my solitude,

    for agonies to snatch me away with thorns.
